“…Scholars emphasize the discomfort that is likely to surface that White/European American's experience when dealing with racial differences (Change & Berk, 2009;Utsey, Hammer, & Gernat, 2005;Vontress, 1971). Findings from this study contribute significantly to the standing literature as participants described similar discomforts from their White supervisees.…”

“…A similar concept has most recently been coined by Carter and Pieterse (2004) as modern or symbolic racism and refers to the fact that one would not express negative racial attitudes openly but would do so indirectly. In contrast to the feelings of open hostility and clear dislike of Blacks, the negative feelings that aversive racists experience are typically more diffuse, such as feelings of anxiety and uneasiness similar to those physiological symptoms identified in a Utsey, Hammer, & Gernat (2005) study, which found that focus group discussions on race and racism in the therapeutic realm continued to be anxiety provoking as displayed by difficulty with articulation, faltering and/or trembling voices.…”

“…While all of these terms, concepts, and phenomena have a place within the overarching multicultural literature; these terms used to illustrate specific race relations distort and hide the unspoken yet no less real impact of racial beliefs (Feagin, 2004). For these reasons it appears the findings associated with Utsey, Hammer, & Gernat (2005) study remain accurate in that discussing race and racism directly, beyond service-level explorations is still taboo.…”

“…However, many researchers have recognized the importance of qualitative methodology to better explore diversity issues. Utsey, Hammer, and Gernat (2005) found that an over-reliance on quantitative approaches restricts the ability of researchers to capture the complex dynamics inherent in cross-racial counseling and supervision context.…”

Thank you God! Thank you God for the opportunity to shine and to successfully reach a major milestone in my personal and professional life. Thank you God that the doctoral journey is finally over. I also thank you God for bringing champions into my life that have supported me along the way. I'd like to acknowledge those champions. First, my husband, Joe "stud" Johnson. You are my friend and my partner. You truly inspire me. Your sense of humor, smile, encouragement, tough love when I want to slack off, understanding, and affection has helped me to reach my goals. I love you and I feel privileged that I get to experience this life with you. Gammy and Aunt Cherry, you are the wise women who have listened to me ramble on and on about all things graduate school. Thank you for being my cheerleaders and for being genuinely interested in my world. To my sister, Ashlee who reminds me that I have a job to do. My biggest priority is being a big sister that you can be proud of. I live each day with you in mind. Thank you so much for loving me, believing in me, encouraging me, and reminding me that I have something to offer this world. My youngest sisters, Kyema, Trenae, India and all of my godsiblings. Don't you ever forget that you are special and brilliant. Your intellect, talents, gifts, and passions will ultimately make this world a better place. Everyone knows that I do this work for all of the young woman and men who are hungry for a little encouragement. Know that when things got difficult for me, you were MY encouragement. Let's celebrate this victory together. iv to ever happen to the Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Department. Words can't express the depth of my gratitude. I'd also like to say thank you to those individuals at the Graduate College, particularly Linda Comrie and Tony Dennis that are the nicest most genuine Broncos at WMU. Too often your support goes unrecognized. Finally, I dedicate this accomplishment to my mother-Shawn Diane Pritchett, GodMother -Yvette Morgan, grandfather-Juston "Jerry" Threets, and uncle-Scott Derek Pritchett. Please know that while you rest in the heavens above I rejoice in the fact that I was blessed to know you in the first place. Your spirit lives on in me and in all that I do. Thank you so much for impacting my life in such a magnificent way. Through me, others will know just how phenomenal you were and are.

“…Though much has been written on the topic of effective supervision (e.g., Bernard & Goodyear, 2008; Falender & Shafranske, 2004), and training in supervision theory and practice is now required in counseling programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP; Nelson, Oliver, & Capps, 2006), most psychologists currently in practice are not provided training in effective supervisory practice during graduate studies (McMahon & Simons, 2004). There has been increasing attention to multiculturally competent supervision (e.g., Bhat & Davis, 2007; Constantine, 2003; Constantine, Warren, & Miville, 2005; Hays & Chang, 2003; Hill, 2003; Miville et al, 2005; Nelson, Gizara et al, 2006) but most of the current literature assumes a European American supervisor with a supervisee of color (Utsey, Hammar, & Gernat, 2005). Very few published articles address issues related to the experiences of supervisors of color.…”

This paper discusses the experiences of a Latina supervisor who practices from a multiculturally competent framework, including cultural issues, ethical issues, and organizational issues. Examples are provided throughout the paper to illustrate the flexibility and sensitivity required when attempting to navigate the interaction of multicultural identities in supervision. Reflections are then offered as they relate to the experiences of the Latina supervisor, including the salience of sociocultural background, the assumption of multicultural competence based on a non-White identity, the importance of developing a strong supervisory alliance when encouraging the development of multicultural competence, and how delivering multiculturally competent supervision is an opportunity to serve the field as an agent of change dedicated to social justice (Rollock & Gordon, 2000).

Counselor training that does not attend to dynamics of cultural differences and oppression can run the risk of promoting false empathy that serves the voyeuristic purpose of the counselor rather than achieving accurate empathy for the client. In this article, we discuss the differences between true and false empathy and how Whiteness, racial identity and culture, and classroom dynamics can impact the ability to engage in cultural empathy development. We present a model for cultural empathy training that attends to each of these dynamics.
